Swatch Sunday, 2/5/12: Nerd Lacquer’s Entirely Unlike Tea

kayeffjay — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:18:26 +0000

I *knew* I took pics.

Nerd Lacquer’s on a break right now, to catch up with a (well-deserved) huge volume of orders. But when they come back – you NEED their polishes. Trust me. Of course, you’ll also be bumping into shit left and right because you can’t take your eyes off your nails, but…it’s worth it.

FOTD: Flash in the pan (2/4/12)

I’ve been wanting to actually start using the Milani Lip Flashes – this no-buy is great, because I am TERRIBLE about buying shit and not using it. I mean, most of the time, I buy shit and use it immediately. But then there are some things I love, and think are neat, but can’t quite figure out what I want to put them with, so they sit unused, until I figure it out. But anyway, so I wanted to use the Lip Flashes, and I’ve been wanting to bust out the Dolly Wink cream eyeshadow I got in New York (yes, Thanksgiving – do you see what I mean? it’s terrible!), and…I love the results. (Although, the Dolly Wink doesn’t photograph that well, because it reflected the flash. It looks a bit patchy, but it totally wasn’t in real life.) And I love the lashes, again – I think it must be BADgal. When I’m putting it on, I’m kind of “meh” – I just picked it as part of my P10P (more on that later). But then I look at the pictures, or look in a mirror from further away, and am like, “….Ooooooooooooh, grrl!” So, yeah, I think I kind of love BADgal. Who knew. Oh – and I WAS going to show you how fucking BEAUTIFUL Nerd Lacquer’s Entirely Unlike Tea was – which 1-is FUCKING INSANELY GORGEOUS and 2-I wore this past week – for today’s Swatch Sunday. But apparently someone (ahem, me) was an asshole and never photographed it. WTF, Jacobs. What. The. Fuck. Jacobs. Maybe I squirreled it away somewhere, I was convinced I’d shot it. But until I find it…I don’t have swatches for you today. Sorry. Anyway.

FOTD: Mouthing Off Exotically (2/1/12)

kayeffjay — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:13:57 +0000

I’m officially starting a makeup no-buy today, for the entire month. I did make some last-minute purchases in January, of stuff I *really* wanted to try, so I wouldn’t be as tempted to break the no-buy – but just the stuff I felt was honestly lacking from my stash. (So, there’s still a great long list of stuff I’d like to have that I didn’t get, and won’t be getting until at least March.) I’m not including skincare/cleansing type stuff, because 1-I need to keep my face clean, and 2-I don’t tend to go as crazy splurging on skincare. Plus, I’m pretty well covered right now: really liking the Clinique three-step system, and then I’ve got plenty extra lotions and potions for extra-moisturizing, spa nights, masks, exfoliation, etc. But no buying makeup – I’m shopping my stash this month! Which I’m actually pretty excited about, as it means I’ll be using stuff that doesn’t get nearly enough love. I’m also considering a P10P, but I haven’t decided which ten items to use. To be honest, I’m almost definitely going to do a P10P as well, but it won’t start today, as I’ve got to sit and look through my stash for stuff I can use ALOT. ANYWAY! Here’s the look I put together today.

-Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer
-Collection 2000 Smokey Eyes Palette (thanks, Lillian!)

SHOES!

Aren’t these adorable?! Silly, but adorable. I love them. They’re going to be my go-to shoes this Spring and Summer – which, hopefully, gives me ample time to learn to walk in them without wobbling. Shouldn’t be too difficult, as they’re wedges, not heels. So cute, though! And the strawberry bling ornaments on the side?! CUUUUUUUUTE! They’re the Oriento Sun So by Irregular Choice. And I think this is the harbinger of a torrid love affair with Irregular Choice and Poetic Licence shoes. Also, I can’t wait to start sewing up cute skirts to wear with them.

Ugh, and the pagoda carved into the heels just kills me! LOVE IT!

Swatch Sunday, 1/29/12: Nerd Lacquer’s Don’t Blink

kayeffjay — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:00:21 +0000

Just gorgeous. These pictures don’t exactly do it justice. I couldn’t stop looking at my nails (which…is maybe appropriate, given the name).

Nerd Lacquer’s etsy store, which seems to have been slammed with orders. And no surprise – their polishes are lovely.
